The experience
Rome's municipal rose garden on the slope of the Aventine, laid out in 1931 above the Circus Maximus on a site that was once a Jewish cemetery, a history reflected in paths shaped like a menorah. It holds more than 1,100 rose varieties from around the world and looks straight across to the Palatine Hill. Entry is free.
Over a thousand roses in bloom with the Palatine as a backdrop, and no ticket.

It's only worth the detour Spring bloom. Turn up outside that window and you're looking at a different place; we'd rather say so than sell you the photo.
